The mediating role of deep learning approach between the proactive personality and innovative behavior of undergraduate nursing students.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe proactive personality of nursing students is considered a key factor in fostering innovative behaviors, which are essential for the advancement of nursing practice and research. However, the mechanism through which a proactive personality influences innovative behavior is not well understood. Deep learning approach, characterized by critical thinking and engagement with complex concepts, is posited as a potential mediator.
objectivesThis study aims to explore the relationship between proactive personality and innovative behavior among undergraduate nursing students and to determine the mediating effect of deep learning approach in this relationship.
methodsA cross-sectional survey design was utilized for this study. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 1885 valid undergraduate nursing students using validated scales to measure proactive personality, deep learning approach, and innovative behavior. The survey was administered electronically from March to May in 2024. The hypothesized mediating role of deep learning approach was tested using PROCESS with SPSS software.
resultsThe results indicated that undergraduate nursing students’ proactive personality was found to have a significant positive correlation with their deep learning approach (r = 0.861, p < 0.001) and innovative behavior (r = 0.862, p < 0.001). Positive associations were found between deep learning approach and innovative behavior (r = 0.843, p < 0.001). Deep learning approach played a 38.98% mediation effect between proactive personality and innovative behavior.
conclusionThe study provides evidence for the mediating role of deep learning approach in the relationship between proactive personality and innovative behavior among undergraduate nursing students. These findings underscore the importance of educational strategies that promote deep learning approach to enhance the innovative potential of nursing students.
